Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide entertainment and develop players' aiming and throwing skills by allowing them to play a game by tossing balls at target areas. The goal is to hit the target areas first. The invention also aims to not cause damage to the surface on which the game is played.

Problems solved by technology

Though each of these games provide entertainment, each requires either a large amount of playing space which must usually be outdoors, a playing area of a particular nature, or several game pieces which are often cumbersome or inconvenient to carry.
The problem with these is that they do not involve an elongated horizontal box having multiple targets (holes) and corresponding lids that cover and uncover the target.
Also, they cannot be played both indoors and outdoors.

Abstract

A multi-target ball toss game and method of playing is played by players on opposing teams standing behind their respective elongated boxes. The boxes are subdivided into a number of discrete target areas. Each target area has a lid that covers and uncovers the target, depending on whether the ball hits the target area. In play, the players take turns tossing balls towards the opposing targets. If the balls fall into the target area, the corresponding lid is closed over the target area. The winning player or team of players is the first player or team that closes all of the lids over the intended targets. The game provides an overtime feature in which both front lids are opened for overtime, and if double overtime both second lids are opened, and if third overtime, third lids are opened, and so forth.
